Looking for thin scales of wood.

ADVERTISEMENT

I'm looking for wood around 1/8" thick, to use as a scale. And the knife is pretty small, so I'd only need a scale 4"x1.125"x0.125". However, if there's extra, it's okay, but the thing is I can't find any wood in the right thickness. The thinnest I can find is 3/8" thick, and it seems like such a waste of wood to sand it all down. Also, I don't have the equipment to halve a scale, so that's out of my options. Anyone know where to buy scales like this? Looking for cocobolo, ironwood, amboyna, snake, or any "fancy" wood.

if your ever thru livermore, i can leave out some ironwood scales in whatever thickness you need. I cut up a couple large blocks and have more than I will use. I also am all over the east bay daily and can leave them anywhere. pleasanton to walnut creek. James
( i also have some 1 X 30 belts and a dead 1 x 30 sander which will not be replaced if anyone needs them)
